Baylor UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Waco, Texas
Baylor University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1410 S. 4th Street, Sid Richardson, Suite 230 in Waco, Texas 76706, under air agency certificate 8BYS302L with location designator 8BYS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Waco, TX metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is TSTC Waco (KCNW), a towered field at 470 ft elevation, 6.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 6.8 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. 3 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Texas State Technical College in Waco, TX at 5.9 miles, followed by Uhi Inc in Waco at 8.0 miles. Texas has 74 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #2 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Fort Worth (9), Denison (4) and Waco (4). 4 of the Texas entries have no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries no agency phone, email or website for this location, so contact details have to come from the school directly. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
